Embracing a Federalist Approach to Abortion, Trump Condemns Democrats as 'Radical' In a Truth Social video posted this morning, Trump says abortion policy should be left to the states. The result, he noted, will be a wide range of restrictions, with different states drawing lines at different points in pregnancy. NY Times: Trump Says Abortion Will Be Left to the States. Don’t Believe Him. Should Trump return to power, he plans to surround himself with die-hard MAGA activists, not the establishment types he blames for undermining him during his first term. And many of these activists have plans to restrict abortion nationally without passing any new laws at all. Politico: Trump slams Graham's conservative abortion stance as 'handing Democrats their dream' “Many Good Republicans lost Elections because of this Issue, and people like Lindsey Graham, that are unrelenting, are handing Democrats their dream of the House, Senate, and perhaps even the Presidency," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform, shortly after Graham issued his statement.

Garland Risks Contempt Of Congress As DOJ Spurns House GOP Demand For Biden Audio The Biden DOJ has chosen to rebuff House Republicans seeking audio of special counsel Robert Hur’s interviews with Biden for a classified documents investigation despite a threat to hold AG Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for defying their subpoenas. Judge Who Gagged Trump To Hide Rabid Pro-Democrat Bias Must Recuse Immediately This judicial overreach not only threatens the former president’s First Amendment rights but also interferes with the election. Grassley Demands DOJ, IRS Come Clean About Targeting Hunter Biden Whistleblowers A recent court filing by Special Counsel David Weiss suggests the Justice Department and IRS may be investigating the whistleblowers who exposed misconduct in the Hunter Biden probe, a move Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) claims is an attempt to "dirty up" those who revealed the government's wrongdoing. New Gallup Poll Shows Biden Slipping In Key Categories, Trump Holding Steady According to Gallup, the biggest takeaway is tough on Biden: “Americans are less likely now than they were in 2020 to believe a number of positive personal qualities and characteristics apply to President Joe Biden.” Black Voters’ Disillusionment With Biden Could Help Trump Pull Off A 2016 Repeat While enthusiasm for Biden is dismal, Democrats will certainly try to harvest the ballots of voters who aren’t motivated to get to the polls. As Black Voter Support Crumbles, Biden Delays Menthol Cigarette Ban Under Biden, the Food and Drug Administration has worked toward enacting a ban on menthol cigarettes for two years, but it has recently moved to delay the finalization of the ban until after the election. The delay is blatant election-year pandering. Biden’s ‘you ain’t black’ comment comes back to bite him “Biden: ‘If you have a problem figuring out whether you are for me or Trump, then you ain’t Black,'” Tim Scott quoted Biden as saying. “In 2024, 40% of African American men aren’t Black enough for Joe Biden. Why? It’s simple. We were better off under Donald J. Trump.” Biden in jeopardy of not making Ohio's November ballot According to state law, a political party nominating and certifying candidates must certify the names of the candidates to the secretary of state on or before the 90th day before the day of the general election, which is August 7. However, the Democratic National Convention doesn't start until August 19. Culture Warrior in Chief The modern presidency is a divider, not a uniter. It has become far too powerful to be anything else. |

Sunny Hostin Suggests Climate Change Behind Solar Eclipse, Earthquakes “Also, I learned that the cicadas are coming. For the first time in a hundred years. This is for the first time in many, many years. ... All those things together, would maybe lead one to believe that either climate change exists, or something is really going on.” Americans suffering from 'eclipse sickness,' including insomnia, headaches, and changes to women's periods While NASA has said there is no evidence linking human health and the solar eclipse, don't let that stop you from using the eclipse as an excuse to miss work. Florida woman ‘directed by God’ goes on shooting spree driven by solar eclipse: Police She reportedly announced her intention to go on a shooting spree to the staff of a hotel. The 22-year old woman was arrested after she allegedly shot at two people on a highway with a rifle. How to tell if you damaged your eyes looking at the solar eclipse Visual symptoms are usually noticeable within four to six hours, but some may not emerge for 12 hours. “You don’t have nerve endings on the back of your eyeball, so you could be experiencing a burn and not know it." Total solar eclipse was tough to see from special Delta flight 30K feet above “But unlike on the ground, the plane was never fully dark. As it fell more into shadow, people started asking, ‘Do you see it yet?’ And a truth began to dawn on us — maybe a plane isn’t the best viewing spot for an eclipse."

Is this how the world will end? Scientists warn our solar system could be pulled into the gravity of a white dwarf star before being "crushed and ground to dust" ... and we only have about six billion years left.
